A visually stunning and customizable Halloween charcuterie board featuring a mix of sweet and savory treats, perfect for parties or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

  • Orange cheddar cheese (cut into pumpkin shapes or cubes)
  • Black garlic cheese or black wax-covered cheddar
  • Creamy brie (decorate with a spooky drizzle of honey or jam)
  • Prosciutto (folded into rosettes)
  • Salami (rolled or cut into spooky shapes)
  • Black pepper-crusted deli turkey
  • Dried apricots
  • Fresh blackberries
  • Mandarin slices
  • Pomegranate seeds
  • Black sesame crackers
  • Pretzel sticks
  • Dark chocolate-covered almonds
  • Candy corn or Halloween-themed gummies
  • Honeycomb
  • Black licorice or chocolate spiders
  • Decorative elements like fake cobwebs or spooky toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Slice cheeses into cubes or use cookie cutters to create fun shapes. Roll or fold meats, wash and dry fruits, and arrange crackers in small stacks.
  2. Place a round brie or honeycomb in the middle to anchor the design. Add decorative touches like a drizzle of jam or fake spider webs.
  3. Position orange and black cheeses in opposite corners for contrast. Use small bowls to hold loose items like candy or nuts.
  4. Fold salami into rosettes and scatter them near the cheeses. Place prosciutto in delicate piles, and arrange turkey slices along the edges.
  5. Add pops of orange with dried apricots and mandarins, then tuck blackberries and pomegranate seeds into empty spaces.
  6. Add crackers, pretzel sticks, and chocolate-covered almonds between larger items. Use candy corn sparingly for bursts of color.
  7. Place spooky accents like black licorice spiders or Halloween toothpicks throughout the board. Don’t overdo it—keep the focus on the food!
  8. Take a step back to evaluate the layout and make adjustments for balance. The goal is to create a mix of colors, textures, and heights for visual appeal.

Notes

Be strategic with color placement, use small bowls for loose items, and avoid overcrowding for a clean presentation. Chill ingredients ahead for freshness.
